This month we very much F with the C (the C being Chuck, obvs), as we cast our eyes over Child's Play 1, 2 & 3, and Bride, Seed, Curse & Cult of Chucky, and end up fantasising about the franchise crossover we really want to see. Plus - reviews of new releases The Craft: Legacy, Run and His House, and a particularly dramatic game of Scary Noises!

46 episodes in, and we're finally marking Halloween with an episode about movies set at this seasonal time of year. Spooky shorts, demonic possession, pumpkin-headed killers and haunted house attractions gone wrong, they're all here, plus our features are the kiddie horror Goosebumps 2 and the infamous BBC special Ghostwatch. We've also look at new releases including Saint Maud, Possessor, The Hau...

On this month's show, we compare Eli Roth to various forms of processed chicken, discuss the use of "hospital" as an adjective, and we're joined by a special guest feline with a few things to say about Rob Zombie. Our features are Roth's debut, Cabin Fever, and Zombie's newest, 3 From Hell, our Highs & Lows of the month include new releases Spiral, #Alive and Get Duked!, and you can play along wit...

In our exploration of modern updates of classic (and not so classic) slasher flicks, we investigate Norman Bates's special wall, low-rent Hollywood actors, the "sexy" couple from the start of the Anthropophagous Beast remake, and balls. Maniac and Child's Play are our headlining features, we review new releases Host, Black Water: Abyss and She Dies Tomorrow, and there's another round of our audio...

This month we reveal the results of our listeners' poll to find the best Arthouse Horror movies ever made, plus we throw in a few additional picks of our own. Plus reviews of new releases including Yummy, Death of a Vlogger and 7500, another round of Scary Noises, and citrus-based laughs.

This month the Devils go out for a nice stake, with a side order of lesbian vampires, including a balanced appraisal of the James Corden vehicle Lesbian Vampire Killers, the 1970s classics Daughters of Darkness, Fascination and The Blood Spattered Bride, and modern takes including Nadja, The Moth Diaries and the brand new (it only premiered two days ago!!!) After Dark aka Vampire Virus. Our Highs...

This month Cliff, Phil, Emily, Luke & Bryony take in a whopping 20 horror movies based - with varying levels of historical accuracy - on true crimes, and do their best to dissect and analyse them, but don't be surprised if sometimes they go off on some unlikely tangents...! Our features are Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer and Deranged, we've got our horror Highs & Lows of the month (which for s...

On this month's show we look at Dario Argento's post-Deep Red gialli, and take a deep dive into a sleazy, grubby pool filled with late-period Italian blades n' beauties thrillers. Our two features come from opposite ends of the spectrum: Argento's Tenebre and Al Festa's bizarre Fatal Frames. Plus: our Highs & Lows of the last month include new releases Mercy Black, We Summon the Darkness, Fantasy...

Horror movie producer and friend of the podcast Giles Edwards got bored during lockdown, so he's written us 50 exclusive trivia questions to record for this special bonus episode! Just as we did in episode 31.5, CJ & Cliff are going head-to-head, Sarah is asking the questions, and you can play along as you listen. Cliff is also hosting a weekly horror quiz on Facebook Live every Sunday at 5:30pm U...

Lockdown can't stop us from watching movies and talking about them for your listening pleasure, so here we are with a look at haunted house movies from 1960's 13 Ghosts through to 2019's Girl on the Third Floor. Our features are the Thir13en Ghosts remake and the Daniel Radcliff-starring The Woman in Black, plus we review new releases The Hunt and Color Out of Space, and there's another round of o...

This month Phil Jerrod returns to the Devil Times Five panel, and we navigate our way through the horror filmography of George A Romero: a man who made more than just zombie movies... but also some of the best-known zombie movies. And aside from the usual hot takes and Scary Noises, this episode contains an unmissable story about a particularly unusual screening of The Lighthouse...!

This month the Devils take a deep dive into the largely direct-to-DVD Hellraiser franchise. Are all the later sequels really as painful as they're reputed to be, or is there some pleasure to be found? Meanwhile, Luke's seen The Grudge 2020 and has things to say about it, and of course there's another round of our audio clips quiz, Scary Noises.

In our last episode of 2019, we look at the ghostly J-horror phenomenon of the late 90s and 2000s, with featured movies One Missed Call and Ju-On: The Grudge, as well as other big hitters like Ring, Pulse and Dark Water, and more obscure selections Paranormal Activity 2: Tokyo Night, Carved and Sakebi. Plus, you'll get to hear our thoughts on the new Black Christmas remake, and our Highs & Lows of...

Shambolic, gross, braindead and lacking in basic standards of humanity, Italian zombie movies share a lot in common with their memorable villains. This month the Devils face off against a dozen undead hordes, including those from our featured movies, Zombie Flesh-Eaters (aka Zombi 2 / Zombie) and Burial Ground (aka The Nights of Terror). Plus, another round of Scary Noises, and our thoughts on new...

This month, the Devils invade your home (or wherever it is you're listening to us) with a look at one of the scariest horror subgenres, from fun stuff like You're Next and The Strangers to the terrifying House on the Edge of the Park and Kidnapped.

It's getting gooey in DX5 land, as we take a look at the 1980s' goriest, bloodiest, slimiest horror movies! Our features this month are Evil Dead II and Street Trash, plus we cover the likes of Demons, The Beyond, Society and Halloween III. Plus, CJ & Luke discuss the new cinema release Ready or Not, and there's another round of our audio clips quiz Scary Noises!

Luke, CJ & Cliff from Devil Times Five go up against the guys from Movie Geek and Proud in this episode of the cinema quiz podcast Filmily Fortunes, including questions on specialist subjects The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Hocus Pocus.

Proof that not all monsters have eyes, teeth and claws: everyday objects cause all manner of havoc as we take a look at some of the strangest killers in horror, with movies such as The Stuff (parasitic yogurt), The Refridgerator (haunted fridge), In Fabric (cursed dress), Death Bed (hungry four-poster), The Toybox (possessed mobile home), Rubber (telekinetic tyre) and Killer Condom (self-explanato...

Play along as CJ & Cliff go head-to-head in the FrightFest London 2019 quiz! Is your horror movie knowledge as good as theirs? Is theirs even as good as they thought??? Sarah's back to ask the questions, and big thanks to Giles Edwards @QueensburyPics for writing them so brilliantly!

This month the Devils are power tooled-up to chop their way through the longest-running slasher franchise: the eight films in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series, as ranked by our listeners! But first, we need to talk about Midsommar (and Annabelle). Featuring CJ Lines, Emily McQuade, Bryony No, Luke Poulton and Cliff Barnes, and with apologies to Jessica Biel and Trey Songz.

Shapeshifters, seductresses, space vampires, space slugs and pod people are just some of the aliens who've invaded the Earth in horror cinema over the years. In this month's episode we take on John Carpenter's The Thing and Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin, along with a crashed spaceship's worth of other alien invasion movies, from Predator to Alien 2: On Earth. Plus: our thoughts on recent releas...

This month we look at monster movies, and our featured creatures are the adorable but deadly mogwai of Gremlins, and the giant nuclear ants of Them!. We've got Critters! We've got Grabbers! We've got whatever those things are in Attack the Block! And we also go back to the black & white era for Godzilla, King Kong and Tarantula, and you'll get to hear Bryony act out the entire plot of Tremors in u...

This month the Devils take a characteristically speedy jaunt through the giallo work of the directors listed on Cliff's favourite t-shirt: Mario Bava, Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci and Sergio Martino, plus a few other notable films from the genre's heyday. Our featured movies are Don't Torture a Duckling and Deep Red, we play another round of Scary Noises, Luke and Sarah give their thoughts on new ci...

This month the Devils - including our new arrival, Luke Poulton - examine the horror and horror-adjacent films of writer-director M Night Shyamalan, from 1999's The Sixth Sense through to 2019's Glass... and let's just say, we won't be tagging Shyamalan into our tweets about this episode. On the whole we're not fans of his work, but we hope you enjoy hearing us explain why! Plus - we give our thou...
